Late 90s/Early 2000s Nostalgia thread

Be somewhere and kaze wo tsukinukete were the only OPs to be in some battle network game weren't they? I don't recall ever hearing any remix of the axess OP nor the Beast OP in any BN game.

>"Next Gen" Consoles
>Xbox and PS4 games look and run worse than PC
>Switch games are even worse
When did "Next gen" stop being a real improvement over the current and start being a meme?

>and graphics don't really matter all that much
How is that bad? Only zoomers care about graphics and they don't add anything to the game. I'd rather have a game that looks like shit, but is unique, than one that looks awesome but is like every other game in its genre. Art style/ aesthetics are more important than graphics anyway.

why girl cry?

I know be somewhere was used as the game opening for the ds remakes of battle network 5 but not sure about the latter

It was, but there were also some nice OPs that barely got used.

I watched them a ton when I was younger, I got bored of it after a dozen or two episodes but it's fun to look back on it

Those "next gen" consoles came out 6 years ago.

Shit like this was the standard for video games on consoles at least. Anything to this caliber now? No. At least we can replay these games.

The industry's last highlight was around ~2004/2005. Everything went to shit after 2007.

Except for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Prototype, and No More Heroes.

I miss good Stronghold games.

>Why even live?

I know, why don't just follow etika's example?

Brawl had 10/10 visuals, music, etc, but the gameplay was fucking garbage and ruined the game.

Yeah, the tripping was a major downside, but I can look past it because the roster, music, and story mode are the best in the series.

>tripping
tripping was just the cherry on top of the shit sundae
>removed running jumps
>most of the cast is way slower
>heavy/slower characters are fucking unplayable unless you're playing against a retard
>stages had more hazards than usual, which would be fine if the movement wasn't so shit in this game
>the movement being shit also ruined Subspace Emissary, which could be at least decent otherwise (playing SSE in Project M proves this)
>tripping not only fucks with you trying to run, but it also triggers sometimes when you try to start a Smash attack (because you're smashing the stick)
I wish I didn't care about the gameplay, like you people, but I do, and I did back in 2008, and so did my friends. We were kind of slowing down on get-togethers for gaming, but Brawl completely destroyed them. I'll never forgive this piece of shit of a game. Fortunately Project M exists and it salvages all that great content by fixing the gameplay.

Graphics shouldn't matter that much.

>haruhi aired 13 years ago

>tfw even porn was better in the 90's early 2000's

Heh, I see you too are a patrician anime watcher who only appreciates the finest classic waifus, much like myself.
You ever watched Outlaw Star? Slayers? Now theere's some pre-mo babes to be found there.
Yup, they don't make 'em like they used to.

i grew up with that song
living in bucharest, romania, it was literally everywhere i went with, especially on summers when mom was running errands all day and just brought me along everywhere

havent heard it in a long while, thanks user :')

hell yeah motherfucker

>graphics tech matures and advances slow to a crawl
>games start to intentional go backwards in visual fidelity to seek the soul and artistry that was lost to phototexturized "realism" hells

You're only saying that because you were a kid then.

People 10 years older than you thought the late 80s-early 90s were better with neon colors, manly action movies like Terminator, and peak 2D gaming and thought the late 90s-early 00s were a pussy ass time to grow up in with Pokemon, Nsync, and 3D gaming (used to be considered soulless just because it had pixels).

>people 10 years older than you hated the new wave of 3D games
Nice revisionist history

On retro gaming forums, which at the time were more focused on NES/SNES/Genesis, I remember that people used to get shit for growing up with the PS1 and N64

Even if gaming will never reach this high point again, there's still a lifetime of quality titles from the past to discover. I'm still playing all of the amazing shit from the 2000s that i missed.
